don't think we need either, though palmer might be a good value backup. I don't see us wasting a pick here though.

RB:
5-6 garrett wolfe 289-1900-6.6-18 rush, 26-247-9.5-1 rec

he's a bit small. a guy like chris henry has MUCH better size (230 4.4 vs 190 4.4), but henry isn't a great runner and he's lazy. I think whenever this guy goes, he's pretty much the best value in the entire 2nd day. and even though he may only be a #2 in the NFL, i sure wouldn't mind having him. I know it's not a need and he probably won't be a skin though.

either could be a huge upgrade over frost. sepulveda was recruited as a linebacker (230lbs, 4.6 40), also holds on extra points and field goals. no blocks since 2003 (first year). good strength and accuracy (39% in 20, 12% in 10).

fields has a monster leg, but he's coming off a down year (41.6ypp vs 47.9 and 46.2 the previous years). last year he kicked off 26 times.

that's the short list of guys that kinda stuck out, it's still early though.

as far as who could help immediately - i think sepulveda would be the starter right after signing and frost wouldn't be able to even keep it close. I think courtney brown could see action immediately, since he'd probably be competing against ade jimoh as the #4 corner, and he'd have a decent chance at winning out there since his speed and size help make up for his lack of NFL experience.

allen barbre has GREAT speed and good vision, but needs work on his technique. he shows flashes though, and with good coaching, he might figure it out in a couple years. MUCH better prospect than wilson or molinaro from 2004. would probably only be 3rd string this year, but as a longer term project, he has a chance to really pay dividends if he puts it together.

wendling and wolfe would basically be special teams players, though wolfe might be able to challenge rock for the #3 RB, not that that'd really make a dent on the overall team talent meter :/. in the longer term, he'd provide a very cheap price/performance backup if we had to trade or drop a running back for cap reasons later on.

we have an overload at WR after moss and el... thrash, lloyd, and patten are pretty interchangeable in terms of their impact on games. stuckey has the most upside, but it'd be hard to prove he deserved to be a #3 with a coaching staff so dedicated to veterans and production that'd probably only equal said vets.

out of those numbers, the vert is GREAT, he's not really 6'2" (6'1.3") but they always round up... reps are decent (the only CB to blow him and everyone else away with chris houston with 27)... the only bad number there is the 3cone. 7.00-7.10 is average, but a lot of good corners in the NFL have numbers closer to 6.60 (leon hall is 6.5, mccauley 6.6, fred bennet 6.6, everyone else (more or less) is around 7-7.1). the best 3cone time ever is 6.45.

again, these drills aren't everything, but they can show some upside.

the next tier doesn't start till the after the early 2nd with guys like ray mcdonald, tim crowder, and charles johnson, so at #21 you kinda fall in the hole between DL talent tiers, which would suck for fixing the d line.

Ill elaborate on a few of the guys i know. Palko's a decent Qb but the biggest knock against him is his ability to keep his cool. Word is once the (pitt) panthers got in any sort of trouble he loses it and verbally abuses the rest of the team. I heard that he had calmed down some but that along with not being ideal height is what hurts him the most.

Wolfe has shown some brilliance to the likes of guys like barry sanders, however unlike sanders he has shown that his size and durability due to that can be a major issue and has also shown that he is about as streaky as you can get after ripping off 4 or 5 180+ yard games he was limited to under 50 for like 3 games straight.

Brandon Myles, in my humble opinion, will be a very nice surprise for whatever team picks him up in the later rounds. His statistics dont tell you very much as WVU is big time running school, but he has excellent hands and is quick enough to get by even the best cb's. (edit the senior bowl, burned both leon hall and damien hughes) I like to think of him as a sneaky good wide receiver, in my best of football terms.
